When I last tried to build mozilla on cygwin (a long time ago) - the first issue i ran into was the fact that cygwin has brackets in uname output... and mozilla wanted to pass part of the output to gcc in a -D - and it didnt quote it enough. Theres probably not Major issues - but probably many hundreds of small ones. Its a reasonably big piece of code after all.
